"I've read that we may need to get our flights pre-approved too"
Once again I think (purely my opinion) that this will all be done automatically through an App', and if I remember correctly this sort of option is already available in 'Drone Assist' whereby you can report 'this is where I'm flying' and any other interested party including fellow drone users will have sight of this info', so you will know if anybody else is flying close by etc. I believe these are the 'flight reports' referred to in Drone Assist.
Yeah, I've seen that option in drone Assist (and obviously the GO app). I think they are looking to 'improve' on this feature for the authorities. That said, as long as we fly safely and legally there should be no issues but what I'm a little uncomfortable with is that authority may bypass the police to local council operatives patrolling fields etc - many of whom are subcontracted and targeted on how many fines they impose. I really hope it does not lead to that - and as things stand I don't think there is a big enough resource to carry those proposals but it was in the consultation... |
